Taaleem Humko Dee Thi ShehanShah Ne Kuchh Aesi

Shehanshaah nay dee theen hamen jo naseehatain 
Bhool gaye saaree hum un kee vaseeatain 
Joda tha unhon nay hamen Nirankaar say 
Lag gaye hain poojne par hum shakhseeaten 

"Roop rang se nyaare" ka tha diya unhon nay gyaan 
"Man buddhi say baahre" ka tha diya unhon nay gyaan
Jo dikhata hai - faanee hai - Nau dvaare maaya hain
Such-khand ke dvaare ka tha diya unhon nay gyaan

Taaleem vo hamesha hee detay rahay aisee  
ki man kee avastha ho Brahmagyaaniyon jaisee 
Daya Sat Santokh ho - aur man mein namarta 
Na chhal kapat ho jis men - rahe bhaavna vaisee  

Vo kahatay thay na dil mein rakho ranj-o-saazishen 
Na hon qadoorten - na hon  fazool  khwaahishen 
To chain aur sakoon say kataygee zindagee 
Jo saadgee fitarat mein ho - na hon numaaishen 

Na jaane kab aur kaise badal gayi rivaayaten 
Shoharton ko maan baithe hum inaayaten 
Ho gaye shuroo phir aapsee muqaablay
Bhool gaye jo dee theen unhon nay hidaayaten

Socho - kya roohaaniyat shohrat ka naam hai ?
Sirph taqreeren hee kya hamaara kaam hai ?
Chhoot  naa sakay agar hasad kee qaid say    
To mukt kaise honge agar man gulaam hai ?

Beshaq main day raha hoon tumhen Rabb kee nishaanee 
Par ye na bhoolo ki  mera jism hai faanee 
Jismon mein hee ulajh ke na rah jaana 'Rajan'
Ye baat sunee mainay shehan shaah  kee zubaanee                            
                                     'Rajan Sachdeva'

In the Nirankari mission, Baba Avtar Singh ji is lovingly known as  Shehan Shah ji.
Nowadays, many people have started talking about 'the Shehan Shah Yug' - the Shehan Shah Era'.
Those who did not see that time, they often ask how that era was - what was it like?

Though, I am not a poet - not a good one anyway - still I have tried to explain some description of that period - that era, as I had seen and understood it -  in the above poem.
